Two-Day Course on Hazard and Operability Studies

HAZard and Operability (HAZOP) study is a well known Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) technique widely used to ensure comprehensive and systematic coverage of all the relevant areas in the initial design or change of a facility. During a HAZOP session, the review team scrutinize the design, looking for process deviations and assessing their impact. A HAZOP is normally performed during the detailed design of a new facility or when changes occur. Each study begins with the HAZOP team agreeing the guidewords proposed by the HAZOP chairman for applicability to the study. All deviations (e.g. no flow, high temperature etc) from the design intent are assessed. Causes and consequences are recorded during the sessions, independently of the existing safeguards.
